Well I finally have my first candle sticks to show off. Since I am learning I did something simple but I think they will look elegant in my sisters home. They are made out of butternut and I have tung oil for the finish. I also bought some tea candles that don’t burn hot so they will work out nice for this project.

Very nice Krum,
You’re off to a great start, so keep on turning.
One thing about a lathe, you won’t want to throw away any size scrap pieces anymore, but your wood stove, if you use one, is going to be hungry. ;)

Thanks ever so much for the encoragement. I finally received my paperwork on the lathe too. My grandson infomed me he will be taking a lathe class in school. So soon I’m sure we will be tackling lathe projects!

Nice candle sticks and I’m glad that you had safety in mind when you purchased the candles that be used with them. I look forward to seeing your talents increase.

Thanks all for the nice comments. Since some of you have more experience with candlesticks, someone had mentioned (not here) that I shouldn’t have used tung oil on them. He thought they would be more apt to catch on fire. So what would one use? Any suggestions would love to hear!
